[PATCH wintun v2] installer: do not enforce driver removal

Persistend network adapters hold locks on installed driver.
Forced removal breaks service/PnP ownership references.

Do not enforce driver removal and make failure non-fatal.
Old driver is removed by regular disk cleanup or next MSM operation.
